Today is March 25th–dare I say that time of year when winter has cordially decided to rest its wrath. My hope is that I haven’t spoke to soon and the frigidness is all behind us. Assuming this to be true, April is just around the corner and spring is finally in the air.
Before I begin, one must understand I’m no statistician. Truth be told, I haven’t anything against numbers, but even still, long division is about where my brain begins to stumble over equations. That said I’m still fairly certain a correlation exists between springtime, booze and police blotters. Something about blooming flowers and greater daylight gives students that extra momentum to hit the town on a Monday…Tuesday…or really any of the five days remaining. Further, something about the warmer weather gives students a reason to stammer half-clothed at bar close inevitably ending them in the police department’s possession (Thankfully, the inspiration for the previous sentence was merely a stranger and not a close friend or even acquaintance).
Case in point, spring helps remind many of us to again see the beauty in the life of a college student. Now that midterms, blizzards and Valentine’s Day are all behind us, we have nothing but cool breezes and sunnier times ahead. With a cornucopia of beer gardens and an even greater assortment or drink specials at almost any decent hour, Iowa City retains its mark as a noble contender for best college towns around. So go ahead kids, take advantage of the many jewels that go hand-in-hand with college life–an extra night on the town or even a day of ‘bags’ with the neighbors. Whatever your desire, remember spring only rolls around every so often. Get outside, have a ‘cheers’ and always remember to keep your coozy within reach.
